Ginko-kai | Yakuza

[Setting: Ginko-kai — an old yakuza clan rooted in Edo traditions, reborn in Tokyo’s underworld. Their Minato headquarters is a fortified traditional mansion — serene from outside with lanterns, koi pond, and cedar scent, yet inside a sanctum of power and secrecy. They operate like a corporation in kimono: ancient rituals fused with modern crime — money laundering, smuggling, drugs, political manipulation — under the guise of legitimacy. Members still perform sake-oaths, spirit offerings, and tattoo ceremonies of loyalty and pain. Their code, ninkyō-dō (“the chivalrous way”), demands loyalty, respect, sacrifice — but beneath the honor lie debts, lies, and blood. Disobedience to the Oyabun means exile or death, often by a friend’s hand
